I have never wanted to have the normal life that at the age of 30 you should have a partner, 2 children, dog, house, car, morgage, summer house, boat, white fence and matching training suites. I wrote that when I was 27 and I still think the same way when I am 40+. The age is just a number and I think I am still 27... 😊

I have moved more than  40 times during my life. I have lived in many places in Finland and in the UK, the Netherlands and Denmark. I don't think I will settle down someday. Or maybe when I am 90 years old. 😄

I am still figuring out what my passion or purpose is in life. That is why I want to learn and study more. I think the only sign of living is learning. Otherwise, you are dead.

I have a master's degree in Social sciences and I have worked for the Red Cross helping Ukrainian refugees. I have also worked as a project planner for a social and health care reform in Finland.  But I still don't know, what I want to do,  when I grow up.  In the past I have studied media studies and art and design.  I'm a scanner type of person,  so I  have a curiosity about a variety of topics.  It has always been my "problem" that I think there are too many options in the world. 😂

How do I describe myself? I am silly, serious, nice, intellectual, open-minded, extroverted, introverted, bubbly, independent,  helpful, good listener...

I like the minimalist way of living. My friend asked me if I am only happy when I am leaving.  I had to say YES. I love packing my 3 bags and hitting the road.

I love being in the  nature, BUT I also want to have people and action around me as I get bored and frustrated really easily.

I love museums, art galleries,  cafes, people watching,  cooking,  movies, photography, reading, writing, improving myself,  walking in the nature, deep conversations, listening to other people's stories, life-long learning, mindfullness,  travelling, sauna...
